1Internet, Email from Pia Tapper Fenton to Graham Hawker, 11 Apr 2002. "I saw your message on the www.genforum.com website regarding Frederick Charles Tapper. I am researching the Tappers of Wiltshire, and I believe his parents were William Tapper (christened 8 May 1800 at St. Martin's parish, Salisbury, the son of James Tapper and Ann nee Ingram), and Fanny White. William and Fanny were married on 5 November 1830 at Alderbury, Wiltshire. I have not found the christening for Frederick Charles as yet, but I believe his children were called Frederick William, Ernest Walter and Charlotte Ellen."

Jan, 1863. I have been looking mostly for the generation above Samuel and Hannah. Four of Stephen''s brothers ended up immigrating to the United States and settled in Birmingham Alabama. (Wylam is the actual town name) Hannah was buried in Wylam Alabama herself. The brothers that came here were: Harry Richard b. 7 June 1865 Thomas b. 1864 William b. 31 October 1866 Mary b. January 1857 The other siblings that we have are: Stephen, John and George. A daughter of Richard is still living in Wylam and I talked with her briefly by phone. She told me that she didnt know where Stephen and John went but that George had become a minister in England and had married a lady named Jane. Please let me know if you would like to share information with me. Thank you so much for what you have. I have several questions if you dont mind my taking your time.

They worked in Calstock and in Lamerton. Harry was listed as a copper miner in the 1881 census. The rest were listed as "mine Labourers". I dont know when they actually got to America. But I do know that Harry married in January 1894 to Amelia Jane (Jennie) Bruckshaw (also from England). This marriage was in Iowa, USA. So I know Harry was here by then. I have no idea why they came to Iowa. I do know that they came to Birmingham because of mining opportunities. I am not sure which brother got here first. I dont know when Hannah came either. She is buried here and lived here for quite a while because Richards daughter knew her and said she was a sweet lady. (I am glad because in the picture I sent you, she looks really mean, doesnt she??) Harry was born in January 1863, but I dont have a date. This is from his marriage license.
